Notes on Singing the Psalms
Two kinds of psalm-tone are used in The Responsorial Psalter.
In the first kind, each line has a long reciting note with an inflection at the end:

#
& w œ œ w w œ œ w
I I
(Eii)
My soul, give praise to the Lord, all my being, bless his ho - ly name.

The change of note is shown in the text by underlinings.

Irregular tones
Normally the inflection has two black notes, but psalm tones D(iii) (e.g. p.9) and 1(iii) (e.g. p10
have three in some lines. The change of note in these lines is shown by an accent in the text.

S
Sometimes the syllable in question is best sung over two notes rather than one; this happens

E
where the accent coincides with an underlining (e.g. stanza 2 on p.9).

AG
Gelineau psalmody

P
The second kind is usually known as Gelineau psalmody and is based on the stresses of Hebrew

PL E
poetry , of which there are two, three or occasionally four in one line. The tones of this kind are:
A(ii), I(iv), I(v), J(ii), J(iv), K, L and M. In this kind of psalm tone the note changes two or three

M
times in each line to correspond with the stress; the psalm is sung more rhythmically, with a

S A
regular pulse, the syllables being fitted in as appropriate:

# # Ó e e wq e e q q h ee q e e h
(L) & œ w w Ó œ w w
I re - jóiced when I héard them sáy: ‘Let us gó to God’s hóuse.’

The change of note is shown in the text by accents. Most lines have some unaccented syllables,
up to three, before the first main accent. These words are sung to the black note that begins each
line. If there are no syllables of this kind, this note is missed out and the singer starts with the
first white note, although the accompaniment is played as usual.

Choosing a Psalm Tone

Under each Response the melody line of a psalm-tone is given, with its reference number. If
you wish, you can choose another psalm tone from the Supplement so long as it is from the same
group (A, B, C etc).

Gospel Acclamations
Melodies for the Alleluia and the Lenten Gospel Acclamations are also to be found in the
Supplement, together with special two-line tones for the verses (printed in the main book for
each Mass). Very occasionally the verse is longer than two lines and so the tone will have to be
sung twice. In Lent, the Lectionary prints out an Acclamation refrain for each day, which you
will find in the Parish Mass Book or Missal, but you are free to choose another one if you wish.
